IMPORT PROCEDURES & DOCUMENTATION

This course offers a dynamic introduction to Globalization and the Global Political Economy (GPE), exploring the intricate relationship between political actors and the global economic marketplace. Through a theoretically rich and historically grounded lens, you’ll examine the development, operations, and future trajectory of the global political economy.

You’ll learn to apply diverse theoretical frameworks to critically analyze global economic processes. 

The course begins with an in-depth look at foundational GPE perspectives—mercantilism, liberalism, and structuralism—each built on distinct assumptions that shape our understanding of global economic events. 

From there, we’ll investigate the international "structures" of production, trade, finance, and knowledge, addressing critical questions: Who controls these structures, and to what end? What rules govern international trade? How do institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and multinational corporations shape global flows of goods and investment? Who benefits from controlling knowledge?

The course culminates with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, highlighting the rise of new economic and political power centers and their evolving roles in the world.
The course concludes with an exploration of 21st-century global governance, spotlighting the emergence of new economic and political power centers, such as BRICS, and their evolving roles in the world.

We’ll also examine how the United States under Donald Trump shifted from traditional liberal internationalism toward more transactional and bilateral approaches, reshaping global relationships and challenging established norms

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Analyze the major political themes in the historical evolution of the international economy.
Understand debates surrounding the emergence and impacts of a globalized economy, including patterns of inequality.
Evaluate key GPE theories and perspectives in both historical and contemporary contexts.
Apply theoretical insights to explain the causes and effects of international trade, capital flows, monetary relations, and globalization debates.
Recognize the vital role of human and environmental security in political economy studies.
Demonstrate strong analytical and critical thinking skills when assessing political phenomena.

FranklinCovey&rsquo;s The 4 Disciplines of Execution&reg;&nbsp;(4DX) methodology provides the framework for organisations&nbsp;seeking to increase strategic execution by creating a culture of high performance.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;focus.&nbsp;Exceptional execution starts with narrowing the focus&mdash;clearly identifying what must be done. Otherwise, nothing else you achieve really matters much.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;leverage. 80% of your results will come from 20% of your activities; are you focusing on the right ones? Discipline 2 is based on the principle that not all actions are created equal. Identify and act on the activities with the highest leverage.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;engagement. People and teams play differently when they are keeping score, and the right kind of scoreboards motivate the players to win.<h2 style="color: rgb(16, 24, 32); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(16, 24, 32);">Discipline 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability</h2>This is the discipline of&nbsp;accountability. Each team engages in a simple weekly process that highlights successes, analyses failures, and course-corrects as necessary, creating the ultimate performance-management system. The Noble Experience This autumn we&#39;re road testing the 4DX methodology with members of the NLG and their teams from within the Poultry business unit. Real life successes, realistic roadblocks and issues, and a genuine appraisal of the outcomes, will all be shared with participants at the 2024 4DX sessions, as we strive to learn the best practices that enable us to go beyond a good strategy, to achieving great levels of execution!Delivery of the 4DX sessionsThe 4 NLG groups will attend a one-day, in person module, where we&#39;ll share the 4DX methodology with you and hear directly from Richard Wood, MD of the Poultry business, as to how the approach has helped him and his team to delivery their objectives.<img src="https://images.cademy.co.uk/noble-foods/7f22d13e-e7fe-43bb-ad22-a5dbd09dcb21/original.png" style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto; padding: 0px 1px; -webkit-user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="width: 698px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: auto;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">

Success = Value + People + Process

With innovation happening more than ever, the new agile project economy requires more and more people across organisations to manage projects successfully, leading to many of us quietly slipping into the role of the unofficial project manager!
The problem is very few people receive formal training on how to do it. Stakeholders, scope creep, limited training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure costing organisations time, money, and employee morale
Is it any wonder 65% of all projects fail* each year!
The good news is—unofficial project managers can build confidence to lead high-value projects and engage teams in a way that inspires them to volunteer their best efforts.

Outcomes
Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager™ combines best practices from agile and waterfall project management to equip learners with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to engage and inspire team members.
Success starts with the core agile principle of value—a project must deliver value to Noble! Once value is established, it is people who make projects successful through a consistent process.
Project management isn’t just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to project success!

This course will help learners:
Build strong informal authority that inspires project teams to consistently volunteer their best efforts.
Utilise a consistent process to start and finish high-value projects on time and with quality.
Influence and engage others to define a clear project scope, including clear deliverables and risk strategies.
Model openness and agility to apply proactive change management and deliver high-value projects.
Project Management Framework
The Project Management Framework guides you through five distinct elements in the life of any project. Coupled with the foundational behaviours taught in the programme, this framework can help you deliver highly successful projects again and again.

Who Should Attend?
This programme is for anyone who finds themselves leading projects at work, regardless of whether or not their job title says, Project Manager!
It is NOT a deep dive into project management processes, nor is it a qualification based programme.
Whilst it would be helpful to either be involved in or to be leading a project, during the programme, this is clearly not essential. However, it is advisable that the participants have had some experience, whether as a project member or as the person who is leading the project (officially or not)!
Project Management Institute (PMI)
FranklinCovey is a member of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Authorised Training Partners (ATP) Programme and this course has been designed to satisfy the project management education requirement for PMI Certifications as well as Professional Development Education units (PDUs) needed by PMI credential holders.

TEA 'N CHAT - LINDA HARVEY - Textile Artist
1 APRIL 2025
TIME: 7-8pm  
 FREE EVENT
This event is held on ZOOM, so please register to get the Zoom details.



Join us for a FREE Tea 'N Chat with Textile artist and teacher LINDA HARVEY who talks about her work.
We are excited to have the immensely talented mixed-media textile artist Linda Harvey join us for our April Tea 'N Chat event. With over 25 years of experience in both teaching and creating, Linda brings a deep well of knowledge and a true passion for her craft. As the Head of Textiles at Archbishop Holgate's School in York and a dedicated member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, Linda's commitment to her art is truly inspiring.
On the night, during the event, we will be running a mini competition to win one of Linda's new Books ‘INSPIRED BY YOU’ 100 Days of Textiles Art



Linda’s artwork is a mesmerizing fusion of rustic textures and innovative techniques. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she transforms photographs into expressive, abstract textile creations. Her work beautifully reflects her love for color and texture, incorporating elements such as hand-felted backgrounds, free-motion embroidery, intricate layering, and rust dyeing.

LINDA HARVEY  Textile Artist and Head of Textiles at Archbishop Colgate School, York

Linda studied Textiles and Surface Design at University Centre Somerset, graduating in 1994. She is a textile artist and Head of Textiles at a York secondary school and a member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes and supports the best in stitched art worldwide.
The inspiration for her work mainly comes from the places she visits, taking photographs of anything that catches her eye. These photographs give a starting point from which her work evolves, often working on several pieces at a time, as she enjoys an expressive and experimental way of working.
Linda is inspired by rustic textures and the ageing process, drawn to anything corroded and tarnished and immediately seeing how it can be turned into a textile art piece. Colour and texture are the key elements in her work.



The Textiles Skills Centre Associates are a team of volunteers that manage the social media platforms and website, and offer support, mentorship and advice to textile teachers and trainees. We organise free resource networking events each month (Tea 'N Chat) and are always on hand to help and encourage when needed.
